We have interchange on the blocking performance of chordal ring considered chordal rings with chord lengths of 3, N/4, and networks. N +3, being N the number of nodes. It is shown that 7000 chordal ring networks with a chord length of N +3 and ] mesh-torus networks have a similar behaviour regarding h t 6000 n wavelength interchange.
